Top Reasons Why Application Photographs Get Rejected by Commissions
Never upload selfies, tilted headshots, or filtered mobile portraits. The photo must be a straight front-facing studio shot with both ears visible.
Wearing sunglasses, tinted spectacles, or caps is strictly banned in all examinations. Clear eyesight glasses are permitted only if glare is absent.
SSC scrutinizes the Date of Photo (DOP). If the date printed is older than 3 months prior to the notification date, the software automatically rejects the form.
The portal upload server throws an error if the image is 19.5 KB or 51 KB. Our tool's binary compressor ensures your file falls safely between 25 KB and 45 KB.
Frequently Asked Questions (अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल)
Q1: What is the meaning of "DOP" on government exam photos?
DOP stands for "Date of Photograph" (जिस तारीख को फोटो खींची गई है). It is printed on the bottom white strip alongside the candidate's name to prove the photograph is recent and represents the candidate's current appearance.
Q2: Should I write Date of Birth (DOB) or Date of Photo (DOP)?
Almost all notices (including SSC CGL, CHSL, GD, and Railway RRB) demand the Date on which the photograph was taken (DOP), NOT Date of Birth. Only a few specific state notifications request DOB. Check our prefix dropdown to pick either.
Q3: How much area should the white name strip cover?
The white strip should occupy around 18% to 20% of the total image height at the bottom. The candidate's face, neck, and shoulders must occupy the remaining 80% without being obscured by the strip.
Q4: Is any candidate data stored on your server?
No, never. The text stamping and JPEG compression are executed 100% locally on your phone or computer using client-side JavaScript Canvas. No photos or names are ever uploaded to any server.
